I have not.

I have not forgotten how to live. I have not let go. I have not forgotten. I have not suceeded. I have not been sitting in a dark room the past 10 months. I have not seen her. I have not been totally happy lately. I have not felt 'good' the past few days. I have not forgiven. I have not been barefoot in forever. I have not been warm this whole winter. I have not felt free. I have not...

I love your addition, in these blog comments, of those last three lines--caterpillars, manta rays, lily--honestly, they are great lines for poetry!

Turn these two posts together into one linked poem: I Have Not, followed by, I Have. It would be awesome! They say so much about where you are at right now, which is what I try to do in my own poems. I'll put them together and email them to you separately, to show you what I mean.

Nice work,

So baby you my only love; the only love I want is yours. Nobody is going to take me away from you, and I hope it's the same for you. :)

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.

"In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back." - Charlie Brown

Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.

"The storm starts when the drops start dropping. When the drops stop dropping, then the storm starts stopping" - Oh Say Can You Say, Dr. Seuss book

I've finally found what life's really about. Hanging on when your hearts had enough, and giving more when you want to give up.

You're lucky you know, right? - Emma

Life is short, Break the Rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that once made you smile.

Elve's are all jacked up on maple syrup!

Laughter on one's lips is a sign that that person deep down has a pretty good grasp of life.

You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing - Michael Pritchard

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transformation that's troublesome - Isaac Asimov

Madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little... push - The Joker

Maybe people are younger when they sleep - Ponyboy Curtis(:

In order to live, we must let go. Forget her hearts not beating. Her spirit IS here. - Emma.

Look beside you. Shes trying to hold your hand. - Emma.

"Right now, you and me here, put together entirely from atoms, sitting on this round rock with a core of liquid iron held down by this force of this trouble you call gravity, all the while spinning around the sun at 67 thousand miles an hour and whizzing through the Milky Way at 600 thousand miles an hour in a universe that very well may be chasing its own tail at the speed of light.. and amidst all this frantic activity, fully cognizant of our own imminent demise-which is a very pretty way of saying we all know we're going to die-we reach out, to one another, sometimes for the sake of vanity, sometimes for reasons you're not old enough to understand yet, but a lot of the time we just reach out, and expect nothing in return. Isn't that strange? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird enough?" - Martian Child.
